This is the reason why you still can’t participate in that group you applied for a long time ago.
Are you sure you are using WhatsApp in your daily life, be it through your mobile application or even WhatsApp Web on your computer, and the truth is that Meta’s engineers do not cease in their efforts to include a multitude of new features that can end up being used by all users, both of normal accounts like those with whatsapp business.
Be that as it may, right now WhatsApp engineers are working on a feature, aimed at groups, through which administrators will be able to manage requests from people who want to join a particular group much faster, regardless of that you come from whatsapp web or normal WhatsApp.
In this way, just as Meta is working on new features for whatsapppremium and WhatsApp Business, users of normal accounts will already know the procedure to join a group.
And now as confirmed from wabetainfothe latest beta version for WhatsApp on iOS, specifically 22.21.0.74, launches a new section for group administrators so that they can easily see all the people who want to join the group and approve them, or not, at any time.
It is a feature that, although it has been leaked for WhatsApp on iOS devices, was previously known for Android, so it will be rolled out in a stable version in the coming weeks, which will make life much easier for group administrators.
This is how user approval works in WhatsApp groups
Once this feature is enabled, group admins will have a new section, within the group options, where they can see pending participants, that is, those who want to join the group and who have not been previously approved.
This additional section will only be visible to the admins of the group, and until the admin logs in and decides to approve or reject it, you won’t be able to participate in that group you want so badly.
Related to these features, WhatsApp is also working on a new option to manage who can approve new participants in a group., perhaps delegating the administrators to as many other users who can carry out this work. The good thing is that they are not exclusive features for WhatsApp Premium, so they can be used by all administrators.
In this way, if you recently tried to join a WhatsApp group and you see that you still cannot participate, it is likely that you are included in this section of pending participants and, until an administrator does not validate you, you will not be able to enter the group.
